TEMP STAFFING SHOULD BE A TOOL, NOT YOUR WHOLE STRATEGY
Picture flu season: the ER is overflowing, periop is surging, and two of your most experienced sterile processing techs just retired. Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs explains why calling in temps feels like a lifesaver in that moment, and why a pressure bandage left on without real treatment never fixes the wound.
IN THIS EPISODE • The pros and cons of temp staffing in the ER, periop and central sterile processing • Why a new hire needs about three months to get comfortable and 24 months to master a system • Four scenarios for choosing temp staffing, integrated management, or a hybrid of both • How a community hospital cut sterile processing errors 40% in six months using just two experienced temp techs
YOUR CHALLENGE Look hard at your staffing and ask: are we just filling gaps, or are we building for the future?
